I also use a katadyn and for the size and versalitity I feel it can't be beat - quick couple for camel bak style bladders and ease of cleaning bode well for me.

Always! Katyden I believe was brand I got - beats lugging 8.4 pounds per gallon to your site. Just check your maps for a water source and bring a hydration bladder - hopefully fully integrated into your pack.

Made my own - 12' almost. My suspension hammock stuff sack and tarp all DYI. I can camp down to about zero degrees Fahrenheit with my current set up
